Im in Australia and it shows up for me. all though its in american prices. I dont think they have an AU store because the apps are the same with prices and stuff.
Am I crazy for really digging the shit out of All-New Doop? Like, Lafuennte is fucking great at cartooning, which yo, I'm all about that, but also, it's Milligan just out-weirding himself every single issue and doing weird meta-exploration of how we become obsessed with extremely minor comic book things in a real goddamn clever way and it's probably his best thing in like, forever.
Also they totally teased something X-Statix related which I'm not gonna believe is actually happening for real and is just him messing with people, related to the obsession with kinda obscure things theme he's got going, like he's fucking daring Marvel to just bring back X-Statix, to see what the fuck happens.
New Marvel Select Hulk is pretty cool. (As is the Nova..just wanted to throw in a normal sized 6 inch figure for scale). I'm on board pretty much anytime Diamond wants to put out a huge figure - most of the Hulks, Abomination,Juggernaut and Rhino have been great.
just looking through the classic comics in the batman sale. Man some great arcs there. Death in the Family, Under the Hood, Knightfall, Batman RIP, Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader, Resurrection of Ra's. and there will be more im over looking
Yeah that was harsh, and sadly close to the reality of what the situation was like at the time. I wrote my Master's thesis on that war and the prevalence of rape and sexual assault as a weapon used by all sides involved. It's horrible, revolting stuff.
I won't be able to read it until I get home from work, but I am super pumped to do so. It's funny, because after losing interest a little while back I only recently got back into Batman, and now this storyline has had me gripped. Will be interesting to see how they handle going back to the status quo after this.
Stop hyping the end of Zero Year y'all, I'm waiting for the trades >_<
Btw, question for NY Comics GAF : What are the best comic shop in the city? Crossing the atlantic in a few weeks to visit the city and I'm not leaving the city without at least dropping a few bucks for comics stuff.

Woah, Storm is fucking great, Dayum.. really satisfied with this opening issue.
Supreme Blue Rose goes total introduction for the opener, but dem sketches in extra pages is gorgeous.
Comixology sale too good to ignore. Picked up some Batman (how can I say no at $2.99 per collection?) and Manhattan Projects, since you guys turned me on to Hickman's Marvel stuff, and I've only heard good things.
Zero was not only the best comic of the week, but solidly the best comic of the month. Super depressing, but powerful in the same sense as Dysart's Unknown Soldier (setting fictional beings in situations and atrocities that are sadly taken from actual events).

I asked Kot how difficult this issue was for him to write (he is originally from that part of the world) and he said he cried at least twice while writing.

I'm a trade waiter for Zero but I just read the final issue of Zero Year. It's my book of the month easy. The team nailed the ending and added so much more lore to the character. Talking gut wrenching emotional stuff here.
Birdie, not far from the truth, one of the best comic stories of our time. Very relevant.
Story is set in Bosnia in 1993, at the height of the Bosnian War. Roman Zizek is selling arms to all the involved parties and playing them off one another. We see he has a significant other named Marina who is pregnant (we find out later she's been raped many times so the father of the child is unknown). Roman gets back from a meeting with one of the groups and realizes it's in his and Marina's best interest to leave Bosnia. They get within 4 km of the extraction point and are beset by one of the groups Roman was dealing to. They tell him only two are allowed to leave, not all three. Marina makes the decision for Roman and lets herself get gunned down to save her unborn child. The book ends with Roman holding the child after it had been cut out of her before fading to black.
Holy shit! Can't wait to feast my eyes on this beauty.
By the way, is anyone picking up Supreme Blue Rose by Warren Ellis today? I don't have any experience with the character, but apparently she's been around for a while?
